Big Problem Tonight, But Maybe A Solution?

Well here was the game:

Our first commanders were morons, I eventually took over and after a lot of catching up on research, we started gaining nodes and took a have. FF was on. We then had a guy demanding jetpacks, I told him I'd research them. He then decides to start team killing, he destroyed the turret factory and resource tower in the hive we had taken. He was subdued by loyal marines. Then he respawns, and kills our infantry portals, i place them down, jump out of command, shoot him and build them myself. I get back in and he's taken down our main base's turret factory, and aliens were on the rampage.

What I think a possible solution to this, and a substitute for an admin is maybe a vote to Promote Commander, which gives him the power to slay, or kick, or whatever to jerkoffs like this guy. What do you think?

    I think a vote to slay people is a bit extreme.

    Think about it this way...

    idot newbies who demand to be the CC, and if you are actually doing a good job, and the majority of the team think so as well, then they get kicked by the idiot's friends. Thus taking out a good commander for the entire round.


    They would use this the same way and just kill the teammates, using their votes to replace a commander then, slaying everyone randomly.

    **obscenity**.

    Dont do that, you'll regret it, I promise.

    Simple solution: Do not run tournament mode unless you have an admin around who can moderate. That disables marine friendly fire, which is too dang exploitable without an admin keeping things under control.

    Why not just a vote kick (plus 20 min ban)?

    Why bother slaying him. Just get him off the server.

    all you need for this is a vote kick feature and one that doesn't require almost everyone in the game to be a hacker in order to use it. so many other games have a kick feature but it never gets used because hardly anyone can figure out how to use it.

    i think it would be really good if we could just click on names on the scoreboard to vote for them to be kicked.

    you need to stop playing on tournament mode servers that have no admins

    a public unmoderated game with friendly fire on is an invitation for desaster, and no game feature will ever help you there

    Solution? Go to the ready room. In fact, get your entire TEAM to go to the ready room, let him get that Jetpack on his own.

    Casual mode is much better anyway! Tournament mode is only for clan matches, the changes are not good for public servers. Friendly-fire? Invitation for llamas and lamers everywhere. No late joins? annoying as hell. Deaths costing rp's? Many a commander has committed suicide after saving up for something only to lose it all because all his marines decided to rush out and die, and besides, in NS death is costly enough anyway. No commander kicking? This has its advantages and disadvantages, commanders are lamer-marine proof, but marines aren't lamer-commander proof. While tourny-mode will be good for clan matches, casual-mode is way better for public games.
